PostFix HOWTO
par 3.3 Create users mailbox

...

To setup *Maildir* mail boxes for our example user john we cano use the 
*?maildirmake?* command.
We must do this for existing users and also in */etc/skel* so new users 
automatically get the same setup. To setup our *Maildir*, change 
directories to john home and run:

maildirmake Maildir
To make our sub folders run:
maildirmake -f Sent Maildir
maildirmake -f Drafts Maildir
maildirmake -f Templates Maildir
maildirmake -f Junkmail Maildir

Now repeat for */etc/skel*.

Which mail client is that supposed to be for? And: Don't the mail
clients create those folders themselves via IMAP if they are needed?
I've never seen the need to do that (plus: I have no mail client using
a folder Junkmail).
